2 METHODOLOGY FOR UFE ANALYSIS The Central Emergency Response Fund s (CERF) underfunded emergencies (UFE) grants are allocated twice a year to the least funded emergencies with the highest levels of vulnerability. The Emergency Relief Coordinator approves emergencies that will receive CERF support for life-saving humanitarian action based on a rigorous analysis and inclusive consultation process. Qualitative and contextual information is collected during a consultation process with UN agencies, NGOs and different parts of OCHA. The two-tier analysis of levels, and risk and vulnerability relies on quantitative data from established data sources. CERF INDEX OF RISK AND VULNERABILITY CERF vulnerability index consists of 7 measures weighted as shown in the graph Risk of humanitarian FUNDING AND VULNERABILITY In 2016, the risk and vulnerability part Scatter plot showing (% of ) versus risk and vulnerability (CIRV) analysis. of the analysis was further enhanced Emergencies selected for UFE round based on lessons learned from earlier Other emergencies South allocation rounds.
